Hi.. dear user..,
Thanks for choosing HCM..,
Rash which is itchy appears after shaving cream application..,
could be CONTACT DERMATITIS..,
it is due to allergens of components of shaving cream..,
So follow..,
1) Frequent washes with soapless liquid.,
EPISOFT cleansing lotion....Glenmark..,
2) Morning use CALAMINE soothing lotion..,
3) Night times use...Betamethasone and gentamycin cream..,
4) Tab ..Levocetrizine daily night times..,
